Apply A Custom Title To Your Firefox Tabs

Posted Dec 29, 2008 by Jason Faulkner  

Firefox users who are looking to either disguise or change the title of their tabs will want to take a look at the add-on, Page Title Eraser.

From the description:

The Page Title Eraser adds menu item to the page context menu and “Tools” menu items. “Right-click” menu includes a “Hide title” menu item now. Using this item you can hide/show tab and window titles and tab icon. Each tab has its independent instance of this item.

I find use for this tab because certain sites I use display just the record ID numbers in the title bar, so it makes it very hard to distiguish what I have open on each tab without jumping back and forth. With this extension I can rename the tab to exactly what I am looking at so there is no confusion.

Interestingly enough, the author wrote this extension because they didn’t want people looking over their shoulder:

I always open several tabs in a Firefox window, but I would not like other people see some of tabs labels. So I wrote the PTE extension which helps me to have such feature.

So you can use this to be sneaky as well.

Which Of These Traits Applies To YOUR Computing Life?...
